The prince from hall renowned
Departs the weary sage
Comrade forgoes for lurid sight
And surface trades for water mage
Whom timeless would impound

Bereft of coral stage
The timeless few invite
Advent of royal grace uncrowned
And dread incur with prince's blight
To end a dying age

Awash in wisdom's bite
The prince of laws unbound
Broken by sea in timeless cage
For wending voice and gateway drowned
In time becomes the light.

Part 3 of Broken is titled "By Sea", and this portent deals with Tirrok's story. Forsaking A'lara to seek the wisdom of the prophetic merfolk, Tirrok travels beneath the sea to discover uncomfortable truths about their culture of ineffable fate. What do you think the prince's blight could be?
